The result of the New York election
upon the fortunes of President Cleveland
can scarcely be over-estimated, and IL is
this fact which makes his friends so ex-
ceedingly Jealous and earnest In this cam
paign, which, SO far as the offices to be
filled is concerned, is of comparatively
trifiing importance. Harper's Weekly,
which is one Of his warmest supporters,
states the situation in saying, "if New
York should be lost to the Democratic
party by heavy vote, the denomination
of the President would be less certain
than 1t now seems to be, because the loss
would show that the indispensable elec-
toral vote Of bis own State Is not assured
to him. And that is the issue, and the
Republican opportunity. A Republican
victory this Fall in New York will not
only probably lay Cleveland on the shelf,
but viii pretty effectually dispose Of all
Democratic hopes of carrying it next year
for any Presidential candidate.

A Famous Doctor

Once said that the secret of good health
consisted in keeping the head cool, the
feet warm, and the bowels open. Had
this eminent physician lived in our day,
and known the merits Of Ayers Pills
as an aperient, he would certainly have
recommended them, as so many OF his
distinguished successors are doing.
The celebrated DIR. Farnsworth, OF
Norwich, Conn, recommends Ayers
Pills as the best Of all remedies for
Intermittent Fevers.n
DR.. I. e. Fowler, OF Bridgeport,
Conn, says: ayers Pills are highly
and universally spoken OF by the people
about here. make daily use Of them
in my practice
DR.. Mayhem, Of New Bedford, Mass,
says Having prescribed many thou
sands of Ayers Pills, in my practice, l
can unhestatingly pronounce them the
best cathartic in use"
Tile Massachusetts State Assayer, DIR.
A a. Hayes, certifies s. have made
careful analysis of Ayers Pills. They
contain the active principles OF we'll
known drugs, isolated from inert mat
ter, which plan Is, chemlcaily SPEAKING,
OF great importance to their usefulness.
1t insnres activity, certainty, and uni
formty of effect. Ayers Pills contain
no metallic or mineral substance, but
the virtues of vegetable remedies in
skillful combination"

A Wonderful Woman.

Miss Mary Murfree is perpetual
surprise. Every body has grown ac-
customed to the fact that Charles Egg
bert CraddOck is a woman. but nobody
who met the fragile, pale-faced. lame
girl during her recent flying visit to
New York found it easily possible to
understand how such a quiet little
creature who was obliged to sit to re-
ceive her guests could have obtained
such mountaineer's familiarity with
the rocks and the trees of the Tennes-
see crags, or have drawn such bold and
mastery sketches of the rough charac-
tiers who live among them. She writes
like an active, fearless man accus-
toned to every phase of wild. out-of-
door life. She looks like the most del
icate of freside-bred women. She is
small. with big eyes and dark-haired.
She does not look like an invalid pre-
cisely, but is evidently far from strong.
She is very simple, natural and straight

Sight and Smoking.

Smokers will not believe what a vet
eran tobacco dealer told me the other
day. and that was that not one of them
could tell. by the sense of taste, unaided
by that of sight, when cigar or pipe
full of tobacco was drawing nicely or
was entirely out. In other words, n
smoker. by closing his eyes, could not
tell whether his cigar was lighted or
was out. This fact, incredible at first
thought. he said: was brought to his
immediate notice by watching blind
man. who was a great smoker, smoke,
or at least attempt to smoke. his pipe.
The blind smoker never knew when
the pipe was lighted until he placed
his finger over the bowl and felt the
heat of the burning tobacco. Many
times he pulled away at the pipe, filled.
of course. with tobacco, enjoying it
apparently as well as when emitting
puffs of smoke. although not the trace
of fire was to be found in the bowl,
and not particle of smoke either en-
tered his mouth or was expelled there
from. If any one doubts the correct
ness of this assertion let him try to
light cigar or pipe while his eyes are
blindfOlded.- Chicago Journal.

NigEardly Husbands.

Among the poor. particularly the
thrifty and Industrious poor. says a
writer in Hdrper's, the woman of the
household. be she wife or daughter, has
much more control in dispensing the
daily or weekly wage than women on
a higher social plane; men of Drawn,
when sensibly and kindly. practice a
moro generous rule of conjugal part
nership than is usual among men of
brain. though these latter's earnings
are on such a scale of plenty that I'M
less we look below the surface regula-
tons and equipments of the house we
fail to discover the false financial rela-
tions that exist between husband and

man has promised to honor as well as

Women are accused of being
''mean." and any one who has ever
served on collecting committee
knows how, in forming a list of pos
sible subscribers name after name is
omitted with the remark: mo use go

has no money" and yet the husband
of ''she" is invariably man of means
or ample professional income. who
pays eYtravagant household and per-
sonal ltills for his family. usually with
willing good nature. 1t is only when
money is asked for that tightening of
the purse strings instinctively takes
place and the unblushing query is
made: 'Why. little woman, what did
you do with the five dollars gave you
last week." We have heard such n
question put to beloved wife by a
man whose yearly expenses were at
least so, 900 and who the next week
gave the same wife valuable diamond
earrings and always encouraged her
to dress extravagantly and live luxuri-
ously.

DESTROYING WEEDS.
How Land Can BE Cleared Of Them In .
Few Years.

How Land Can BE Cleared Of Them In .
Few Years.
The time is coming when the most
successful farmers will have but very
few weeds to contend with. for we are
about to make another step Of progress
in the cultivation of hoed crops. 1t is
no longer going to he the universal
custom to cease the war with the weeds
at midsummer, but some farmers ara
determined to keep up the battle with
weeds during the entire season. and
Others prevent any weed seeds from
ripening. 1t has been found by expe-
rience that land can be cleared of weed
seeds in few years, if no new seeds
are permitted to ripen and fertilizers bs
used to feed the crops In fact, it has
been demonstrated that whole farm
can be cleared Of weeds by few years.
persistent effort, and thus even the
barn manure may be freed from weed
seeds. A farm thus freed is of much
higher value. and can be worked not
only with much more pleasure, but also
with more profit .....
1t was real comfort to have a gar
den that is freed from weed seeds
Cultivation is so easy. every farmer, if
he does no more. should keep his
kitchen garden free from weeds; he
should never permit any to ripen
their seeds. 1t is true this. for the first
year or two, is some labor. but it can
be done. and it pays to do it. The way
to do it is simple and within the reach
Of abby simply pulling all of the
weeds and permitting none to ripen
any seed. and using fertilizers, the
work will be accomplished. The great
mistake which most gardeners make is
in neglecting the garden in August
and September, the very time when
the weeds grow the best and ripen
their seed in the least possible number
of days. Every weed that is permitted
to grow will probably ripen ten thou
sand seeds-sOme of them more than
ten times that number. 1t does not re-
quire any argument to prove that it
would be easier to destroy one weed in
August than ten thousand the follow
ing spring; so. though an August weed
might not injure the ripening crop, it
is economy to take particular pains to
destroy it before it begins to ripen its
seeds.
While some farmers are fully alive
to the Importance of destroying all the
weeds that make their appearance
among the hoed crops, they neglect
entirely to destroy any that grow ON
the borders of the field. in the barn
yard and around the farm-buildings,
but if the farm is to be kept clean Of
weeds, it is just as important to de-
stroy those on the borders Of the field
and in the barn-yard as it is to destroy
them on the plowed land. Farmers
should carefully cut down, at least
twice a year, all of the weeds. around
the cultivated fields. and ON other por-
tions of the farm. and thus prevent the
ripening of weed seeds There is NO
labor on the farm that pays better TIA.

WOMAN'S DEPARTMENT.
SLAVES TO DRESS.

| The advice to women to promote
their health by outdoor exercise il
never wanting. But no amount Of
fresh-air exercise can save women
from the evil effects of their present
style of dress. 1t is their clothes that
kill them.
Every step . woman takes. her foot
contends with her skirt. She lifts il
on the instep, and she lifts it on the
heel The weight may be ounces OF
pounds. but it is taken mp at every
step. The heavy skirts. with flounces.
overskirt, hustle, braid. beads and 9TH
or trimmings, hang their many pounds
and many yards. tapping around the
feet and legs Of the wearer. The cor
set does not allow space to take full
breath, and the tight sleeves cause the
muscles to cry for room.
Dressed in this fashion, the wearer
comes back from her walk for ''frcsh
air and exercise tired through and
through. and is the worse for it. be-
cause she has lifted and carried hun
dreds of pounds.
Stand ut any city strcet-cOrner, and
watch the women as they pass. How
tired they look! How their dresses
flap round them! Contrast them with
the men. Mems feet lift no weight OF
clothes. Mems steps contend with
nothing. Every muscle has its natural
exercise. Outdoor air and exercise
are good for them.
The advice women need Is for
shorter, lighter and looser dresses.
Mrs. Jenness- Miller has not come a
day too soon with her better costume,
if the health Of women is to be i'm
proved. Mrs. Celia b Whitehead has
shown "What's the matter" Before
her, Mrs. Amelia Boomer, nearly
forty years ago, set the example Of
short, loose dresses.
That style was adopted by many
women, among them Mrs. Elizabeth
Cady Stanton, Miss Susan B. Anthony,
and the present writer. How light
and comfortable and neat it was! How
easily we went up stairs without step
ping on ourselves! How we came
down stairs without fear of being
stepped on! A walk on rainy day
or in muddy street had no terror.
for there were no yards of draggled
skirts to clean. We had room to
breathe, and freedom for our feet.
But this healthful dress was ''despised
and rejected" by the great public. On
one occasion, Miss Anthony, in compa-
ny with me, started to 60 to the post
Office in New York, in the Boomer
costume. But we were surrounded
and wedged in by crowd which boot
ed and jeered. We escaped only by a
carriage sent by friend who saw our
dilemma.
1t was so difficult to wear this dress,
with the odium that was cast upon it,
that we returned sorrowfully to the
bondage of our bodies for the sake of
freedom to live unmolested. That was
long ago. Now women might accept
the light. sensible dress which Mrs.
Jenncss Miller wears and cOmmends,
without fear of unpleasant comment.
In it they may take fresh air and exer-
else. and gain in health,-Lucv Stone.

When Monsieur Tontay was found
murdered in the barn next morning the
greatest CONSERVATION prevailed in the
neighborhood. Such crime had never
been known there within the memory
of the oldest inhabitant.
Marie Petel. the cook, testified that
the night before her master came to her
and said that he had put a miserable
tramp into the barn to sleep, and babe
her make a pot of good soup for the
man. She did so, and Monsieur Tom
tay. with his own hands, carried the
pottage in a can to the barn.
Itwas the tramp who had murdered
his benefactor! Could there be any
doubt about it? Poor. generous. kind
hearted Monsieur TOntay had been
murdered by the man to whom he was
doing an act of kindness. He had been
robbed? Nobody could say. for no.
dody knew what money Monsieur ear
ried about him.
The tramp was the man. anyhow,
and the officers OF justice were speedily
after him. But they failed to find him.
As for Jean, he travelled on. doing
odd jobs here and there, until. early the
following spring, he found himself at
Poitou- By one of these condolences
which often occur, he made his way to
Lussac. where, it may be remembered.
Monsieur Jarente and the faithless
wife Of Monsieur Tontay resided.
Of course, the story of the murder
had reached them. and had excited in
even them feelings of horror and ven-
geance. Jean, as his custom was on
reaching new neighborhood. hid in
the woods, and ventured abroad with
care until he saw the character Of the
